Year 4’s Learning this week:
English: Year 4 have written and edited their twisted fairy tale endings this week.
Year 4 have also continued working on their Shakespeare learning for Mrs Ormerod. Year 4 have been exploring The Taming of the Shrew through English and Drama. This week we explored how Kate is treated in the play by Petruchio. This raised the topic of how people should be treated and how it made us feel that women were historically treated as less than men. Year 4 raised some very thoughtful and interesting opinions and questions around this topic.
Maths: Year 4 have been exploring Time this week, practising telling the time as well as their problem solving.
RE: This week, Year 4 have been learning about the different colours, signs and symbols used throughout the Church’s liturgical year and their deeper meaning.
PE: Year 4 have continued taking part in their tag rugby sessions.
Spanish: Year 4 have continued identifying and translating the important objects within their classroom this week.
DT: Year 4 have carried on designing their mindfulness timer and turning this into a prototype.
Computing: Year 4 have continued transferring their website designs onto a virtual platform this week, using teamwork to create their final product with care and pride.
